Locally known as Allapattah Road and Southwest 112th Avenue, State Road 989 (SR 989) is a 3.0-mile-long (4.8 km) north–south four lane undivided highway in southern Miami-Dade County, Florida between the Homestead Air Reserve Base and Cutler Bay. SR 989 begins at an interchange with the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike and ends at an intersection with the South Dixie Highway (US 1).
SR 989 begins at a diamond interchange with the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike (HEFT), on the southern edge of Princeton, and proceeds north, maintaining this orientation for its entire course. Starting amongst farmland (as of March 2011), SR 989 only travels one block north before reaching suburbia, and remains within residential neighbourhoods for most of its subsequent journey. After passing through Goulds north of Southwest 224th Street, SR 989 crosses Black Creek Canal and forms the western boundary of Cutler Bay, a little over 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of the interchange. Soon the road passes to the west of the Southland Mall, a major shopping mall formerly known as Cutler Ridge Mall. SR 989 and Allapattah Road end at the mall's northwestern corner, at an oblique intersection with the South Dixie Highway (US 1).
South of the interchange, Southwest 112th Avenue continues south, remaining as a four-laned undivided highway as far as Moody Drive (Southwest 268th Street). It then turns into a two-laned farm access road and continues south to the Homestead Air Reserve Base, terminating near its northeastern corner. It resumes on the other side of the airfield on the same alignment and continues south from Southwest 301st Street to Southwest 320th Street amidst farmland, a distance of 1.3 miles (2.1 km), as a two-laned access road.
